Celebrity weddings are known for their
glamour, glitz and elegance. The brides in particular rely on a team of
beauticians and stylists to make sure that they look stunning on their big day.
No matter what your budget, you can still have a touch of the celebrity at your
wedding though, as long as you pick the right stylist for you.
A lot of brides feel nervous about this
decision. After all, you want to feel like a million dollars on your big day,
and this is the person that will be in charge of your whole look. Luckily,
we’ve put together this quick guide on how to pick the perfect stylist for you.
Do
your research
There are so many hair and make-up artists
out there that it’s hard to know where to begin. The best thing to do is to
think about where you’re going to be on the morning of your wedding. You might
be getting ready in your home, in which case you can do an online search for
those in your area.
If you’re getting ready at a hotel in
another part of the country, you could either do your own search of that area,
or get in touch with your venue co-ordinator, as they will often have supplier
lists that they work with on a regular basis. You should always do a separate
search for mobile hairdressers and make-up artists though; your initial ideas
might be focused on salons, but freelancers can have much better availability
and often a wider portfolio.
Check
out their portfolio
Speaking of portfolios,
that’s your next step. You need to check out their portfolio of work to see
what kind of styling they do a lot of, what they’re best at, if they do any
unique looks and so on. If there’s something that you would want, or a style
that you can take inspiration from, that’s a great initial reaction, and then
you can get in touch with them for an enquiry about what you would need as well
as references. Many stylists these days, such as this hair and make-up artist in Manchester,
have an online portfolio for you to preview.
Have
a trial run
After you’ve gone over how many bridesmaids
you have, the styles you want for them and any additional requirements for
yourself, you’re ready for your trial run. This allows you to gauge two things.
First of all, how your stylist acts around you is a huge indicator of whether
or not you’ll get on; this is your special day, so being on the same wavelength
as your stylist is essential. Secondly, it allows you to fine tune what you
want and make sure that any miscommunications or problems are ironed out; it’s
better to get the mistakes out of the way beforehand than have a disaster on
your big day.
I hope you find this brief guide useful in
your quest for celebrity wedding glamour. What look did you go for on your
wedding day?
